Alterbute: Editing Intrinsic Attributes of Objects in Images

We introduce Alterbute, a diffusion-based method for editing an object's intrinsic attributes in an image. We allow changing color, texture, material, and even the shape of an object, while preserving its perceived identity and scene context. Existing approaches either rely on unsupervised priors that often fail to preserve identity or use overly restrictive supervision that prevents meaningful in...

Achieving Expert-Level Clinical Infection Detection with LLMs from Clinical Documents: Validation in Complex Patient Cases with Cirrhosis

BackgroundSystemic infections are a leading cause of hospitalization and death among patients with cirrhosis. Timely and accurate infection identification is essential for both clinical care and the development of predictive models. However, existing methods such as ICD-10 coding are unreliable, and manual chart review is resource-intensive and difficult to scale. This study aimed to develop and v...
